Same team
You and I were separate beings, at the time when you met me.
Then I found to my delight, a friendship formed that very night.
It’s hard to know, just what could be; if we were working as a team.
Not “Team you” and “Team me”.
I know you’re loyal as can be, I only wish it was to me.
I wonder if you’ll ever see; all the things we could achieve.
There is no limit, there is no peak; In no time flat, we’d live our dreams.
Everyone would soon agree; what we are they’ll never be.
We’d fill their hearts with jealousy; and give their envy no relief.
To make this happen, it would seem;
we must start thinking as a team; and being ‘us’ instead of “me.”
What we have makes me so proud; because without it; nothing counts.
You and me could do so much; if only sharing was our focus.
I have waited patiently; a whole year gone by, and all I’ve done…
Yet I have less to show, for all my love; than what you give away just for fun.
I know deep down, it’s not your fault, but truth or not, this hurts my heart.
I wish my body was tall and hard, with chiselled muscles, chest and arms.
But all I am is short and smart. I’ll never have the look you want.
You’d be surprised at what you see; If you could look inside of me!
The man I am is underneath; the man you see is just skin deep.
It means your standards are too high; if you ignore your heart to please your eyes.
The price you pay, you never see; what this costs you, is a life with me.
The kind of life to make you happy.
You are amazing; thanks so much; I’m so grateful for your love.
Though I want more; you’re still enough!
Now let’s agree; to be “we” and “us”.
If we work together, as we must; so what we build, is by built on trust.
Thank you for the year so far, you’re my favourite person; and always are
the brightest, smartest, hottest star.
I love you for just for who you are.
